<p>b2i_PVK_bio, b2i_PVK_bio_ex, i2b_PVK_bio, i2b_PVK_bio_ex - Decode and encode functions for reading and writing MSBLOB format private keys</p>

<pre><code> #include &lt;openssl/pem.h&gt;

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>b2i_PVK_bio_ex() decodes a private key of MSBLOB format read from a <b>BIO</b>. It attempts to automatically determine the key type. If the key is encrypted then <i>cb</i> is called with the user data <i>u</i> in order to obtain a password to decrypt the key. The supplied library context <i>libctx</i> and property query string <i>propq</i> are used in any decrypt operation.</p>

<p>b2i_PVK_bio() does the same as b2i_PVK_bio_ex() except that the default library context and property query string are used.</p>

<p>i2b_PVK_bio_ex() encodes <i>pk</i> using MSBLOB format. If <i>enclevel</i> is 1 then a password obtained via <i>pem_password_cb</i> is used to encrypt the private key. If <i>enclevel</i> is 0 then no encryption is applied. The user data in <i>u</i> is passed to the password callback. The supplied library context <i>libctx</i> and property query string <i>propq</i> are used in any decrypt operation.</p>

<p>i2b_PVK_bio() does the same as i2b_PVK_bio_ex() except that the default library context and property query string are used.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>The b2i_PVK_bio() and b2i_PVK_bio_ex() functions return a valid <b>EVP_KEY</b> structure or <b>NULL</b> if an error occurs. The error code can be obtained by calling <a href="../man3/ERR_get_error.html">ERR_get_error(3)</a>.</p>

<p>i2b_PVK_bio() and i2b_PVK_bio_ex() return the number of bytes successfully encoded or a negative value if an error occurs. The error code can be obtained by calling <a href="../man3/ERR_get_error.html">ERR_get_error(3)</a>.</p>
